Purpose: In general, men are less likely to seek health care than women. Infertility is a global disease that afflicts approxi-mately 15% of reproductive age couples and the male contributes to 40% of the diagnosable cause. Remarkably, no large or multi-national population data exist regarding men’s perceptions about their infertility. The purpose of this study was to advance our knowledge about the infertile male’s social experience regarding: (1) how they feel about their infertility, (2) what motivated them to seek health care, (3) how likely are they to talk with others about their infertility, (4) their awareness of male infertility support groups, and (5) what their primary source for information is regarding male infertility? Based on the results from this study, these simple questions now have clearer definition. Materials and Methods: An Institutional Review Board-approved, male-directed, anonymous questionnaire translated into 20 languages was made globally available through the Fertility Europe website (https://fertilityeurope.eu). Males (n=1,171) age 20–49 years were invited to complete the online survey after informed consent. Results: Most respondents were European (86%). Of European men, <15.8% were self-motivated to seek medical help. Fur-ther, their physician was not the primary source of information regarding their infertility. While most men (59%) viewed their infertility positively, a large majority were not very likely (73%) to talk about it. Most respondents indicated a lack of aware-ness or absence of male infertility support groups. Conclusions: These are the first multi-national population data revealing men’s feelings about their infertility, what motivates them to seek help and their awareness of resources for peer support and information. These findings also serve to highlight significant gaps that exist in the provision of male reproductive health care and in supportive resources for men suffering from infertility. We offer recommendations on how to address the problem(s).

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the pre-operative and post-operative aesthetic outcome of patients following primary lip repair to investigate the association of the severity of the cleft deformity after NAM therapy and final surgical outcome. Materials and Methods: To assess the correlation between severity of the cleft and the primary surgery outcome, four pediatric craniofacial surgeons from the affiliated teaching hospital were asked to independently rate 156 randomized sets of photographs from 39 case of non-syndromic patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate who received NAM treatment.by mean of visual analogue scale. The photographs were acquired in four different time points: (T1) Pre NAM therapy, (T2) Post NAM therapy, (T3) Immediate post-operative, (T4) Late post-operative. Results: The mean of VAS score for lip and nose improved significantly after NAM therapy. There was significant correlation between NAM treatment (T2) outcome and immediate post-operative outcome (T3) for nose. There was no significant correlation between NAM treatment outcome (T2) and immediate postoperative outcome (T3) or late postoperative outcome for lip. Conclusion: Cleft deformity improved significantly after NAM therapy and this improvement led to better nasal esthetics immediate post operatively.
